Autistic Anime Boys Prelims - Propaganda Division - Group 6

Propaganda:

Kiriwo -

"Seems innocent at first and he's just a guy with a special interest in magic items, but watch out."

Arjuna -

"MASKING KING!!!!!! ok joke aside one of his biggest things is that he's super scared that if anyone gets too close to him they'll notice he's not perfect/has a 'secret darkness' (that's literally just a guy) and overall a lot of his storyline is a strong parallel for being neurodivergent and becoming more comfortable with accepting it. he's also super strict and hard on himself for any sort of failure that isn't in line with what's socially appropriate but at the same time he doesn't always have a good grasp on what that is which is how you get stuff like him blowing up a forest to try and impress someone. it also runs in his family bc his brother is autistic as hell too."

Sherlock -

"God, where do I start? I mean what Holmes adaptation, even if he's not the main character, would this be if he were not autistic coded? And our combo of autism and ADHD is absolute perfection, all tied up with a pretty, excitable face. Hit him with the crime hyperfixation and do not make him wear socks."

Apollo -

"Not canonically autistic but he has ZERO volume control plus he scripts/repeats stuff (“I’M FINE!!!”), sometimes mimics other people’s speech patterns (like replying “ja” to Klavier), sensitive to loud noises (stayed backstage at a concert cuz it was too loud) and bright lights (complained about the stage lights being too bright at the same concert + screamed when opening the hatch to the bright stage at magic show), and has been really into space since he was a kid, which could definitely be a hyperfixation (not to mention how he read every single one of Phoenix’s old case files back when he admired him). Plus he’s a little TOO normal, to the point where it circles back around to making him the odd one out, which is absolutely what masking feels like for me. Even when he tries to be fun and weird he gets strange looks/made fun of for not being weird in the right way. The list of autism symptoms is just a checklist for him at this point."

Heiji -

"90% of the cast in detective conan is autistic but heiji is the most autistic of them all."

Urara -

"Another alien who is so excited to dance with everyone that he does not understand that his intended purpose of inviting people to dance via water communication is brainwashing them into dancing and is causing extreme chaos. He nearly causes an apocalypse by being so excited about dancing but he apologizes and tries to make friends with Yuki at the end of the story. He is extremely soft spoken and try, finding it difficult to begin conversations and fidgeting."

Shu -

"speaking specifically about the first season but he was the "explains everything so the audience knows whats happening" guy. he was pretty antisocial (not sure if thats just how he was or if he lived alone [which was fucked up cause he was 11]) . im trying to think of more but my brain goes hghghhhggggh im just a big fan of him."

Vash -

"ain’t no way i’m the only one who’s submitted him. go look at the gif of him crawling in the dirt like a bug while he dodges bullets and get back to me."

Hyakkimaru -

"Due to a terrible curse he has lived his whole life without several body parts including his eyes and ears. Because of this he is often overstimulated and awkward in new situations (when he doesn't do what he does best, killing monsters and samurai with his sword arms) He can't say or express much, and often comes off as strange and creepy, but he is actually a cutie patootie full of emotions, has a big heart, a keen brain, endless inner strength and loves the people close to him! This adorable, cursed, demon slaying boy deserves everything!"

Kei -

"He has the tbh face. Also he canonically has sensory issues and gets sensory overload. He constantly wears earbuds. He has an extremely rigid sense of morality and considers himself a savior figure. He has a hard time relating to other people and is a bit awkward in his interactions."

Prelim 20/27

From submitters :

“Draconia” appears to be a bastardization of “draco/draconis” (latin for dragon). I cannot verify the validity of that specifically, but hes based off maleficent so hes certainly being named after dragons in one way or another

Prelims

Fandom: Dungeons and Dragons, Eberron, Forgotten Realms

Note: This poll refers only to the characters' versions in Dungeons and Dragons, Forgotten Realms or Eberron.

Characters' info under the cut

Ao (wiki)

Domains: Overgod and Watcher of the Multiverse

Propaganda:

Overgod of the D&D multiverse, being vastly over all the setting's gods except for the literal Dungeon Master

Lolth (wiki)

Domains: spiders, drow, trickery, war

Propaganda:

Spider lady spider lady spider lady spider lady

Luminous Being (wiki)

Domain: All of D&D

Propaganda:

They are the supreme being of all D&D, and while open to interpretation, they are implied to be a stand in for the Dungeon Master, the person who runs the D&D campaigns in real life

Selûne (wiki)

Domains:goddess of light, guidance, and specifically The Moon. The asteroids that follow the moon are her tears.

Propaganda:

Selûne is so cool, actually! If you've played BG3 you know she becomes Shadowheart's much kinder Goddess and gave birth to a baddie like Dame Aylin; but she's done so much more! She created the sun at personal cost to herself, and gave the world enough heat for life. When Ao sent all the gods to faerûn to live as mortals, Selûne didn't even notice because she had already been doing that of her own choice! Iconic!

Tiamat (wiki)

Domains: Evil Dragons, Greed Dragons, Trickery

The Traveler (wiki)

Domains: chaos, deception, evolution, invention, and transformation.

Propaganda:

okay so beyond being a chaos god, the traveller is also the reason changelings exist in Eberron! and well. dnd changelings my beloved (seriously, look up the in universe origin myths, they rock). it's also gender (tm) (to quote the wiki: even its gender is unknown—the Traveler is referred to as "it", not "he" or "she", but sometimes "he" and "she" have been used, even interchangeably). It's also just. a weirdo compared to the other gods of the setting. It's just kinda there and also maybe created the world?? 10/10 fictional deity. especially by tumblr standards. look me in the eyes and tell me it wouldn't be a punk.

Dol Arrah (wiki1, wiki2)

Domains: The Sun, things worth fighting for, justice, diplomacy and self-sacrifice

Propganda:

The quintessential God of Paladins, the Warrior Sun stands for the decision to draw your sword- or not. Wise, just and true, she is the voice that urges restraint in the face of provocation and the clarion call to fight for what is right. Diplomacy and strategy are part of her domain - she stands as much for those who seek to avoid unnecessary warfare or to claim victory without the need to strike a blow - but the image of her that comes first to mind is a knight in armour, shining with the light of the Sun.

The Becoming God (wiki)

Domains: Discovery, life, growth, self-sufficiency, creation, evolution, ascension

Propaganda:

So are you a magic robot built for war who's looking for purpose now that you've got human rights? Are you dissatisfied with the abstract, insubstantial gods of organics? Are you plagued by visions of divine schematics and a holy machine? Great news! You can help build the Becoming God! He doesn't yet exist, but once all his followers have built his chassis, he will rise up from the wastes and lead his people to their glorious destiny.

Cyric (wiki)

Domains: Lies and deception

Propaganda:

Cool backstory. Kind of maybe too much to explain but maybe I'll explain it in asks later if he gets in.

Best Character Stuck in a Timeloop

Greenest Flag Prelims: Ray (Only Friends)

Propaganda: "I’m only submitting this because First described him as a green flag once and I think that’s hilarious and it would be very funny to include him"
